... Lucas (2000) also mentions the possibility of using the 183 GHz Water-Vapour Radiometers (WVRs) to correct for the emission. A correction based on the WVRs would largely remove the noise due to atmospheric emission, but would also add thermallike noise due to the noise within the radiometer itself. ... 125 100 K /m m K /m m 3 CORRECTING ALMA TOTAL-POWER OBSERVATIONS Each of the 12-m ALMA antennas will have a 183 GHz water vapour radiometer fed from the centre of the focal plane of the antenna. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...
